Definitions
- the invention relates to methods and arrangements for encoding and decoding a media signal, typically an audio-visual signal.
- DRM Digital Rights Management
- the encoding method comprises a step of defining a range of code sequences that are generated by a first encoder in response to encoding respective groups of one or more media signal samples by said first encoder.
- the media signal is not actually encoded with the first encoder.
- the step provides the collection of code sequences that can be produced by such an encoder.
- the first encoder is a relatively simple encoder, the code sequences of which can easily be decoded.
- An example thereof is a scalar quantizer.
- the media signal is actually encoded with a different second encoder, which produces second code sequences.
- the second encoder is a high quality encoder, which requires a more complex decoder to decode the media signal.
- An example thereof is a vector quantizer.
- the invention now provides that a selected one of the first code sequences is assigned to each actually produced second code sequence. This assignment is carried out in accordance with a mapping table. The thus assigned first code sequences are transmitted.
- receivers having a first decoder which performs the inverse operation of the first encoder, will decode the received first code sequences and reproduce the encoded media signal with a given quality.
- a low quality and high quality layer are multiplexed into a single bitstream. This is done in such a way that the multiplexed bitstream has some distortion with respect to the low quality layer.
- the high quality layer is embedded in this distortion of the low quality layer and can be made available by providing a proper decoder. In other words, information for high quality restoration has been embedded in a lower quality signal.
- the inventors have provided theoretical bounds (not described here) that can be achieved with respect to distortion and rates.
- a possible application is in the field of electronic media delivery.
- the invention allows a single version of a music song or movie to be distributed to free low quality players as well as high quality players for which a paid license is required.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically a flow diagram of an illustrative embodiment of the encoding method according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows schematically a flow diagram of an illustrative embodiment of the decoding method according to the invention.
- D(x,x′) min ⁇ ( x′ ⁇ x+ 1 ) 2 , ( x′ ⁇ x ) 2 , ( x′ ⁇ x ⁇ 1) 2 ⁇
- FIG. 1 shows schematically a flow diagram of an illustrative embodiment of the encoding method according to the invention.
- the media signal x is divided in successive groups of N signal samples x 1 . . . x N .
- a range of code sequences y 1 . . . y 4 is defined that could be generated by a scalar quantizer Q 1 , if such a scalar quantizer was indeed used to quantize a group of samples x 1 . . . x 4 of the media signal x.
- Table I lists the 16 possible code sequences y 1 . . . y 4 that can be produced by the (hypothetical) scalar quantizer Q 1 .
- an index j is assigned to each code sequence.
- the index j is commonly referred to as quantization index.
- the media signal x is actually quantized by a vector quantizer Q 2 .
- the vector quantizer Q 2 divides the 4-dimensional space spanned by four input samples x 1 . . . x 4 into sixteen subspaces, and assigns a code sequence of four quantized signal samples z 1 . . . z 4 to each subspace.
- only 16 combinations of quantized signal samples are chosen, so that the rate of the vector quantizer is equal to the rate of the hypothetical scalar quantizer.
- Table II lists the 16 possible code sequences z 1 . . . z 4 that can be produced by the vector quantizer Q 2 . Again, an index (now denoted i) is assigned to each code sequence.
- the salient feature of the invention resides in a step 14 , which is carried out after actually quantizing a group of signal samples with the vector quantizer Q 2 .
- a selected one of the “scalar quantized” code sequences y 1 . . . y 4 (Table I) is assigned to each “vector quantized” code sequence z 1 . . . z 4 (Table II).
- Table III shows the reordering mapping used in the present example.
- a “scalar quantized” code sequence with index j (Table I) is now transmitted in a step 15 .
- a simple receiver having a scalar dequantizer will reproduce the scalar quantized signal sequence y 1 . . . y 4 .
- the above mentioned input sequences x 1 and x 2 will thus be reproduced as [1 ⁇ 4, 1 ⁇ 4, 3 ⁇ 4, 3 ⁇ 4] and [1 ⁇ 4, 1 ⁇ 4, 1 ⁇ 4, 3 ⁇ 4], respectively.
- the reordering mapping function which is shown in Table III, has been found to yield a distortion D(x,y) ⁇ 0.0473.
- FIG. 2 shows schematically a flow diagram of an illustrative embodiment of the decoding method according to the invention.
- a scalar-quantized sequence y 1 . . .y 4 is received.
- the received sequence is inversely mapped into the vector quantized sequence z 1 ... z 4 .
- the sequence z 1 ...z 4 is decoded and reproduced.
- a source X is quantized with a high quality quantizer Q 2 . That means that every coding vector of X is approximated by a vector q 2 ( i ), for some index i.
- An unlicensed user is given a set of indices j with respect to the scalar quantizer Q 1 . He will be able to reconstruct a low quality approximation to X.
- a licensed user will have access to the code vectors in Q 2 as well as the inverse of the reordering map m(i) and will therefore be able to reconstruct a better approximation to X.
- the invention discloses a method of embedding information for high quality restoration of a media signal (typically an audio-visual signal) in a lower quality version of the signal.
- the signal x is encoded using a high quality encoder (Q 2 ).
- the code sequences z produced by the high quality encoder are mapped into code sequences y that are associated with a hypothetical lower quality encoder (Q 1 ).
- the latter code sequences y are transmitted.
- a simple decoder will decode the received sequences y, and thus reproduce a low quality version of the signal.
- a more sophisticated decoder is arranged to inversely map the received code sequences y into the code sequences z, that were actually produced by the high quality encoder (Q 2 ). The sophisticated decoder will thus reproduce a higher quality version of the same signal.
